據離岸工程網3月16日消息 總部位于挪威的地震勘探服務提供商Seabird Exploration最近成立了海底礦產開采公司Green Minerals，該公司希望在油價周期影響下實現業務多元化。該公司周二表示，預計2026年其海洋礦產生產系統將就緒。

Green Minerals 表示：“公司預計生產系統將準備在2026年開始試生產。”

Green Minerals預計將于3月23日左右在奧斯陸泛歐交易所開始交易。

Seabird Exploration公司今年1月表示，Green Minerals重點將是深海開采海洋礦產和稀土元素（REE）的綠色轉移關鍵，消除陸上開采的社會成本，同時減少環境足跡。

該公司的計劃是讓Green Minerals被公認為近海采礦的先驅和海洋礦產的領導者。

從中期來看，Green Minerals的計劃是贏得在挪威大陸架上調查、勘探和生產海洋礦產的許可證，從而利用價值7000億挪威克朗的資源潛力。

從長遠來看，Green Minerals希望憑借挪威大陸架技術在國際上獲得采礦許可證，并將公司打造成全球領先的離岸礦商。

Green Minerals' Production System to Be Ready in 2026

Green Minerals, a subsea minerals mining company recently created by Seabird Exploration, a Norway-based provider of seismic survey services wanting to diversify its business suffering from oil price cycles, on Tuesday said it expects to have its marine minerals production system ready in 2026.

"The company expects the production system to be ready to commence pilot production in 2026," Green Minerals said.

Green Minerals is expected to start trading on Euronext Growth Oslo on or about March 23.

Seabird Exploration said in January that Green Minerals focus would be deep-sea mining of marine minerals and Rare Earth Elements (REE) key to the green shift, "eliminating the social costs in onshore mining while reducing the environmental footprint"

The company's plan is for Green Minerals to be recognized as a pioneer in offshore mining and a leader in Marine Minerals.

Medium-term, Green Minerals' plan is to win licenses to survey, explore and produce Marine Minerals on the Norwegian Shelf, "thereby "capitalizing on a NOK 700bn worth of resource potential."

Long term, Green Minerals hopes to win mining licenses internationally based on our Norwegian Shelf technology, and establish the company as a leading offshore miner globally.
